TROTTING INTERESTS. Outlook for a Groat Stallion Race Here Next Summer. Secretary Smith Says the Board of Ag riculture Will Probably Provide a Good Pane Therefor. In conversation with Edwin F. Smith, Secretary of the Stato Agricultural So ciety, upon tlie outlook for the live stock interests in California, he remarked to a Recobd-Ujjiox reporter that more zeal had been shown witiiin the past few years in the improvement of breeding than ever before in the history of the State. "There is not a week passes," said he, "that does not find ono or two Eastern buyers visiting our leading stock farm ers. The. recent impetus given the breed ing of trotters in California lias caused many to seek Investment in the dan of Block here produced, as tliey look upon our colts as phenomenal in point of early development, This, you must know, ia quiti unessential point in trot inghtfrses ol the present day," as, with the average American, time is moneyr 1 and, to not be compelled to wp.it until one is gray in the business before a per former is high on the way to success, ■peaks volumes for the judgment of our breeders, and the feed and climate here attainable." Speaking for tho Society, Mr. Smith eni'i that the members of the Board of Directors are at all times anxious to take the Initiative in any movement that woald tend to advance California's pro ductive interests, be It cereals; agricult ural machinery, fruit-growing, or ii\< stock. Xhe Society is looked upon as the fether of the latter interest, more par ticularly, hut in so doing it has not ig nored oilier industries beneficial tothe State that came under its car;-. "Recognizingthe great advance made In tho breeding of trotters in California during the past few years," said Mr. Smith, "the Directors are contemplating the announcement of a grand stallion trotting purse for the State Fair of 1691. It will he remembered that the furl one of these great events given in California, since any attention worth Bpcaking of bas been given the breeding of trotters, was held under the management of tho State Society in 1888. Jn that contest tho start ers wexe Woodnut (2:161), Guy Wilkes (2:151) and Stambonl (2:11.) Subsequent to ihi-: race —which gave Wbodnuthis rec ord, and the prominence that attracted the attention of the country to him—his sale was accomplished for $20,000, stam bouFs for $50,tiu0, and it wan understood tbat Mr. Corbitt refused a like amount for (any Wilkes. That this race was cf great value to tho interest named, there can bo no doubt, and it was accomplished through the agency of an institutiofi fostered t>y the State. Hence tbey "eel that it is about time to encourage the Introduction to the public of some of the coming voting Btock, thai their qualification for pre eminonce and value, may arouse a dis enssiou that will end In other important tali's of the contestants. It has, there fore, been thought expedient to offer a grand stallion purse of from 83,000 to 95,000, to be contested forby California Stallions. The entrance would be fixed at a rate acceptable to all, and the pay ments made by installments, so as uot to distress any breeder that may desire to name Ids horse before the brt c bug season opens." "What would there be to start in such a race as this?" "The starters," replied Secretary Smith, "would be Simmocolon (2:111), Moses s. (2:191), Alfred G. (2:iaj), Begat Wilkes(2:l7l), Direct #U81), Silas Skin ner (2:19), Charles Derby (2:20), Washing ton (230), Redwood (£211), and Mount Vernon (2821). And there are many others that would probably enter and take a shy at tiie coveted prize. * Tiie re are really a largo number capable of Joining forces v.itb these named, and such an event would serve to bring them oat—perhaps to fortune and to feme." WITNESS FEES. The County Xot Liable Therefor ln the Boycott Csoo. In Department One of the Superior Court an order was made last week by* Judge Armstrong directing the County Auditor to draw a warrant against the county in favor of V. s. McClatchy for ?147 75 in payment of the fees of wit nesses in the boycott case of McClatchy vs. (i. W. McKay and others. Grovel.. Johnson, counsel for the de fendants, entered a protest against such action, and Auditor Johnson concluded not to draw the warrant until he had laid the matter before the District Attorney. Yesterday Mr. Ryan rendered the follow ing opinion in the matter: Frank T. Johnson, County Auditor —Dear Bis: iv reply to your official inquiry, tne same involving the question whether ii is vow duty to draw a warrant upon tin i -<■-, uty Treasury for tho sum of $147 75, payable to V. S. McClatchy, said sum to be by him dis bursed to I). Luhln, C. H. Oilman, K. W. Hale and others for apenses ;i- witnesses in at tending the contempt proceedings in tbe su perioaa tourt ot this county entitled Charlotte McClatchy et al. vs. G.W. McKay itu!., and tbe further gum of ?lii lj for Constables fees in said praeeedings, you having been dl <;ii< ted to draw said wat'iant ln pursuance of an order made in said cause by the then Su perior Judge J. W. Armstrong, on the 3d day of January, 1881,1 respectfully submit that Baid order does not warrant the drawing of th warrant for tin following reasons: Section 1320 of tlie Penal Oode provides as follows: - Winn a person attends before a magistrate, wand jury, or court, us a witness in ii criminal case, upon a subpena or in pur suanceofan undertaking,and it appears that he lms come from a place outside of tneoounty, or that ne is poor and unable to pay tbe ex pt ir- of such attendance, tne Court, at its dis cretion, if the attendance of tbo witness be upon a trial, bj an order upon its minutes, or in any other case, tbe Judge at I-.is discretion. by S written order may direct the County Auditor to drew his warrant upon the < Sounty ■j :rei'in tuvoi-of witnesses for a reasona ble sum to be specified in the ordar, for the -ary expenses of the witnesses." dearly under tbe above section t'-c Consta ble charge is no valid claim against the county. Neither the order In question nor the minutes of the court show mat the wit nesses named therein came from a place out side <>t'tbis county, or were poor and unablato pay ti.i . • expenses in atteiMti.lt said proceed ing assuch witnesses. In tho absence of such abowtug i am of ;;■•• opinion tbat the order in question is insufficient to justify you in draw ing said warrant. F. i). Kva?:, District Attorney. SUPERVISORS.

Necessity for an Increased Forco of Men and an Emcrsoufry Fnnd— Patrol Wajjon—Arrests. At the request of tho Record-Uxiox, Chief of Police Warren F. Drew has pre pared tlie following review of tho con dition of the Police Department of tho city. It includes such recommendations as ho deems necessary for the improve ment of the present police system. Ho says: The fact that our present force is nu merically insufficient to discharge tho constantly increasing amount of service required, is too well known to call for any argument. The matter lias so often been referred to by my predecessor, Cap tain Lee, lhat all there remains to say now on the subject is the plain statement that the city oi Sacramento needs to-day not l< 3s than thirty policemen. It is difficult to imagine how twelve patrolmen—tho number at present employed (said num ber being divided into two watches of six men eacli) —can reasonably be expected to perform the work thai should more appropriately be allotted to the former number. There are about 100 miles of streets in the city, which, under our I present system, would make sixteen and two-thirds miles of streets for each patrol man. Therefore, I desire to urge attention to the necessity for a polico patrol wagon and a signal system, for rapid and effi cient service at all places, where the prompt appearance of police officers may prevent loss of file or destruction of prop erty^ as well as to secure the arrest of criminals before they have time to escape from the scene of their crimes. The experience of other cities in which the patrol Wagon system has been intro duced has resulted most favorably. The arrests have nearly doubled, and there has been a marked decrease in tho crimes reported. Tho patrol Wagons are models of con venience antl adaptability for work. They combine lightness and strength, and are rendered conspicuous by the Slue body and bright red running gear. They are fitted with a:i alarm gong similar to the fire department vehicles, and can go in a harry for an alarm. Under the seats, which run lengthwise on each side of tho box, aro compartments for handculfs, "eome-aloiigs," clubs, blankets, canvas stretchers, ropes and other articles that are found necessary or convenient. Tlie Stretcher is very ingeniously arranged, and is the best device for the purpose de sire;!. The stretcher, when not in use, is rolled upon poles and placed in one of the compartments under the seat. When re quired for use, the stretcher is drawn out through a small door at the end of tho, wagon aud four hooks, which accompany it, are fitted to their proper places, two tit each side hf the wagon. In these hooks the poles attached to the sides of tlie stretcher are placed; and the canvas hangs free between the seats of the wagon and is carried without disturbing the patient, thoAplting of the wagon being overcome. FTOr obstreperous prisoners there is a ring in the door of the wagon-box, tb which the belligerent party can bo tied down and seen red. The fact that our city has overgrown its police force ii yondali reasonable propor tions is apparent to all; therefore the pro caring of a patrol-wagon would supply an immediate necessity. If not, the pb lice force must soon be increased. "That tlio efficiency of tbe police force would be fully doubled by the adoption of the patrol system, can bo shown by testimonials from the Chiefs of the differ ent police departments in cities that have adopted the system. Another great disadvantage under which this department tabors, is the feet that there is no emergency fund provided, except what is received from Sherifis who are obliged to leave prisoners in the city prison over night, en route to tlie Folsom State Prison, and for which we get §1 for each prisoner. These receipts do not average over StiO per year, all told. There should be an emergency fund of at least 1400 per year placed at the disposal of the Chief of Police, to be used for tele graphing and other necessary expenses in eases of emergency. Suppose some terrible crime, such as murder or highway robbery ocean, or even the stealing of a horse and buggy, and the perpetrator is trying to get away, and it Incomes necessary to immediately send officers in pursuit of the criminal, an emergency fund is Indispensable. During my Incumbency of the office of Chief of Police the following number of arrests have been made, meals and lodg ings provided indigent persons, etc ledgers:. Meals. Arrests. Receipts.

The Signal Service records in this city show yesterday morning to havo been the coldest this season. The lowest tem perature for tho first timo has reached tho freezing point (32°), and this was reached after sa. m., at which hour tho lowest was 35°. Thero was, of course, a killing frost. The lowest last year was 2.<>°, 3 degrees below tho freezing point. It may lie that our lowest temperature for this month is yet to come, and it may roach that point in a day or so. Still, a temperature of a few degrees below tite freezing point is of no consequence, because il damages nothing, but on tlie other hand makes it healthier. Tho highest and lowest temperature yesterday was ~A)° and '.i' 2°, as against 40° and 30 3 on the same date last year. The highest and lowest one year ago to-day was 14° and 30°. There were last January five days upon which the minimum or lowest tempera tars recorded wits from two to three de grees below tlie freezing point, and three of those days were in succession—the Vtli. Sth and 9th, and again oh the 13th and 14th. Thia month baa, so far, been mucc milder than ths same month last year to an equal date. The barometrical readings at 5 a. X, air; .", p. m. yesterday were 30.20 and 30.21 inches, respectively, showing a high and rising barometer, which, if accompanied by clear skies, means cold weather.
